Video solutions for retail chains
In the retail industry, video surveillance usually forms the basis of a business’ security system. Reducing shrinkage and providing evidence in the event of theft have traditionally been the main motivations for installing cameras. In the retail industry, shrinkage is one of the most significant challenges faced by companies. Loss Prevention (LP) personnel at retail chains face a number of difficult challenges to select an adequate video surveillance solution, due in part to the wide variety and needs of buildings that they must secure. For example, many retail stores that are converting from analog to IP require hybrid systems that allow them to make use of existing analog cameras while adding new IP cameras. In some cases, small recording units with low camera counts are required to keep costs down. For larger stores, recorders with capacity for 64 or more cameras may be required. In all stores video analytics data can be applied to improve store operations and optimize store layout for maximized sales. The warehouses are at the other end of the spectrum. While considerably fewer in number, the warehouses are very large, sometimes with camera counts in the hundreds. These systems require sophisticated management and large-scale storage. All of these systems must be monitored from a central location. Regardless of where incidents occur, it must be possible to select the site, locate the camera, and efficiently stream video to the central site.
In the past, to meet this wide range of requirements, many disparate systems were used. This posed a number of challenges. LP managers were forced to develop different training programs for each supported system. Regional managers responsible for multiple sites would have to learn to use all systems in their region. And investigators at the central monitoring center would be faced with yet another, different, way of working.
Cameras and technology that suit your retail needs At Bosch, we are focused on delivering the highest quality relevant images - with resolutions up to 4K ultra HD and starlight technology for low light situations. That is why all Bosch cameras from the IP 4000i to the
Fortunately, it is now possible to address all of these requirements in a uniform way. With the latest versions of the Bosch Video Management System, all LP personnel can share the same intuitive interface – from the store manager to the warehouse LP professional to the security operator at the security control center.
IP 9000 series feature on-board video analytics as standard to help you turn your data into intelligence that can improve your security as well as benefit your business. From retail to warehouse solutions, a smart combination of these cameras offers solutions for indoor or outdoor, day or night, discrete or visible video security, as retailers see that they can do far more with data collected by cameras than security alone.
